This posting rang so true in my heart, because I could relate to the melancholy of last times, especially those preceding la "rentree". The end of summer is a magical time, calling in the beginning of a new school year, representative for many of us as a new beginning. We become more introspective as we rush into it all, our children adapting to new classrooms of students and teachers still unknown, us mothers attempting to adapt quickly for their sake. But deep down, the adjustment lasts into the Indian summer, and it is only when the the cold hits in (at least for us on the East Coast), that we begin to feel settled again into our comfortable routine.

This year I felt more anxious than usual, comfortable as I'd gotten into my summer's routine. But then Z adapted better than expected to his new school, embracing his classroom and his teachers uncharacteristically well. T, the more sensitive one, is still holding back, but I feel reassured when I pick him up and he has a smile on his face.

New beginnings follow last times....so let us all embrace them and enjoy the new year to come! Good luck to all!

About Me

The pink taxi runs from 7 am to 7pm. It picks and drops off my 3 kids at school, ballet,judo, aikido, violin, climbing, riding, squash, basketball, skiing, skating, swim team, friends, grandparents and teachers. The car, not pink, but a black SUV, drives to Carrefour and Coop. To Club stretch for pilates and Aviation club for weekly workouts. It is driven by a woman who navigates on the radio, gets DJed by her 4 year old or sometimes quietly reflects. The thoughts are about politics, family, humor, literature, art or fitness. Sometimes they are excruciatingly longwinded, other times they are gossipy and hot.
I hope you will all enjoy!
Love,
